ICMP
ping uses the ICMP protocol.
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. Ping is used to identify if there is an internet connection and how fast it is.
ping is the easiest.
A utility used to verify wether a particular internet address exist and can be accesed
Ping command for example "Ping 127.0.0.1" Which is the loop back address
PING acronym for "Packet Inter Network Groper" utility is used to check the status of the specified Host (IP Address). It determines the status by Echo\Response method based on ICMP protocol.
Ping is a special command line utility which allows to check accessibility of particular hosts. It uses ICMP protocol and because many online services block it, the utility not always provides correct results.
It uses ICMP ECHO requests, aka ping.
A ping command is used to check whether the host is alive or not. A ping command is used when you want to check if the host can send or receive packets. The protocol that is responsible for Ping command is ICMP.
TCP\IP protocol is run by ping i.e Ping 132.125.12.1 -t will ping the status of device whether healthy or unhealthy The "ping" command is an ICMP (internet Control Management Protocol) control packet. Many websites disallow this type packet, so beware.
"Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo function which is detailed in RFC 792"http://www.activexperts.com/activsocket/tutorials/ping/So the short answer is that it uses the ICMP protocol.
The most basic is "Ping".The syntax is:Ping remote host or ip addressi.e. ping www.google.comorping 127.0.0.1

PING
Assuming IPv4 ICMP. Ping uses IP for transport. Ping in itself is an "Echo Request", which is a function of the ICMP protocol. The IP Packet will carry the ICMP protocol from end-to-end. ICMP has a protocol number of 1, so the "Protocol" field in the IPv4 header will contain "1" as a reference to the ICMP payload. For IPv6, ICMPv6 is used, and the transport will be IPv6.
